The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Performance' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
Even with 32 pinned tab and 58 regular tabs open it takes Firefox 104.0.2 4 minutes and a memory increase from about 600 MB to 8 GB to shutdown.

Mccr8, since I can't request an about:memory report from the user, any chance you have heard of this bug before or know what the appropriate component is? Otherwise some form of shutdown profile might help. Julien, do you know how the user could grab a profile of the situation occurring?

I have not, sorry. Hopefully a shutdown profile would show where the allocations are coming from...

This requires starting firefox with the environment variable MOZ_PROFILER_SHUTDOWN=<filename> set, where <filename> is the name of the file where the recorded profile should be saved.
Then start the profiler as usual.
Given the length of the scenario I would suggest reducing the interval to something such as 10ms or maybe even 100ms before starting, this can be done in the configuration page about:profiling before starting the profiler from the popup.
Please tell me if you need any more information about this!

Although that before https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1528859 is fixed (that is... in tomorrow's nightly), we'll have only the profile for the main process in the end. But that may be good enough for this bug, who knows?
